SRC to hold baseball campCANTON—The athletic department at Spoon River College is offering a one-day baseball camp Monday, July 16, from 9 a.m. to noon for those age 7-18 at Bob Em’s Field (900 N. First Avenue). The camp includes a pitching session, an all-skills session for ages 7-12, and an all-skills session for ages 13-18.

The pitching session will be from 11 a.m. to noon. The cost is $30 and includes a t-shirt. Both all-skills sessions will be from 9-11 a.m. The cost is $25 for 7-12 year-olds and $35 for 13-18 year-olds, and both include a t-shirt. Both sessions – pitching and all-skills – are discounted for $55 and include a t-shirt.

The all-skills sessions will focus on the complete athlete and mastering the basic fundamentals, while the pitching only session will focus on each pitch’s mechanical importance while working towards mastering each one. Pitchers are asked to provide their own catchers (this can be a parent or teammate).

Attendees must be registered by July 2 to guarantee the t-shirt.
